Detroit Tigers
Summary • Detroit has a slim chance at the division but likely won't make it barring a miracle. • Detroit is amongst one of the five worst teams in the league in all three slash-line categories (batting average, on-base/slugging percentages). • Tigers base-stealers, home-run hitters, and walk-takers all have subpar performances. • Spencer Torkelson has recently stepped up his play, providing one of the only reasons to watch the Tigers lineup. • Detroit's defense has manoeuvred around the 12th-most runs per game. • Tarik Skubal has done well in his 12 starts this season, particularly in his last two road starts. • Current power ranking of 13, with a record of 67-79 and rank of 29 in offense (average of 3.94 runs scored per game).
